Here are three interesting matchups that could potentially be drawn on Friday:
Red Bull Salzburg vs Red Bull Munich
Red Bull Munich vs Red Bull Salzburg, it doesn't get much juicer than that! The two Red Bull teams have prior history in the CHL as well - both sides met in the 2018/19 Semi-Finals.
After a 0-0 first game, Munich beat their Austrian brothers 3-1 to go on to contest the Final.
Rögle Ängelholm vs Leksands IF
These two SHL teams could face each other in the Round of 16 this season. Both are making their debut in the CHL this season, both have been on fire throughout the Group Stage and both want to make it all the way to the Final - this could be one hell of a match-up!
Sparta Prague vs Adler Mannheim
Sparta Prague vs Adler Mannheim would be a true clash of heavyweights in the Round of 16 and would make for some intense hockey. Do you see it happening?
See you on Friday at 12:00 CEST for the 2021/22 CHL Playoff Draw!
